SMA Angle AlertsSMA Angle Alerts
Overview:
The "SMA Angle Alerts" indicator measures the angle of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a specified number of bars, helping traders identify when the market is gaining or losing momentum. The indicator provides real-time alerts when the angle of the SMA crosses user-defined thresholds, indicating strong upward or downward movements in the trend.
How it works:
SMA Calculation: The indicator calculates the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price over a customizable length.
Angle Calculation: It determines the slope of the SMA by measuring the price change over a set number of bars and converts that slope into an angle (in degrees).
Alerts: Alerts are triggered when the SMA angle crosses above or below specified thresholds, allowing traders to react to significant trend changes in real time.
Key Features:
Customizable SMA and Angle Threshold:
The length of the SMA and the threshold for the angle can be customized to fit your trading strategy.
Real-Time Alerts:
Alerts are triggered when the angle of the SMA crosses upward or downward by more than the defined threshold, providing actionable insights into trend strength and direction.
Visual Markers:
The chart visually highlights points where the angle of the SMA exceeds the threshold, with "UP" and "DOWN" labels to mark when the angle is steep enough to signal significant trend changes.
Background Color Alerts:
The chart’s background color changes when the angle exceeds the thresholds—green for upward crosses and red for downward crosses—allowing traders to quickly spot moments of interest.
Plotting the Angle:
The slope of the SMA is plotted in degrees, giving traders a visual representation of the market's momentum. Horizontal lines mark the upper and lower angle thresholds, offering a clear view of when price momentum is accelerating or decelerating.
Use Case:
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to catch strong trend reversals, breakouts, or momentum shifts. It can be used across multiple timeframes to monitor market momentum and identify key moments when the trend is gaining strength in either direction.
Customization:
SMA Length: Adjust the length of the SMA to suit different timeframes or asset classes.
Angle Threshold: Define the angle at which alerts are triggered, allowing you to focus on strong upward or downward movements.
Bars to Check: Customize how many bars are used to calculate the slope and angle of the SMA.
Alerts:
Set alerts to notify you when the SMA is angling up or down by more than your specified threshold, ensuring that you never miss a significant trend shift.

SMA, VWAP with Buy/Sell Signals - First Signal OnlyIndicator: SMA, VWAP with First Buy/Sell Signals
Overview:
This indicator plots two Simple Moving Averages (SMA 20 and SMA 200) and the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) on the chart, with fully customizable colors and line thickness. Additionally, it provides buy and sell signals based on the price action relative to these indicators.
Buy Signal:
A buy signal is generated when a green candle (bullish candle) closes above the SMA 20, SMA 200, and VWAP without touching them (i.e., the low of the candle is above all three). This signal will only be plotted for the first such candle of the day to avoid signal clutter.
Sell Signal:
A sell signal is generated when a candle closes below the SMA 20, SMA 200, and VWAP without touching them (i.e., the high of the candle is below all three). Similar to the buy signal, it will only be plotted for the first qualifying candle of the day.
Customization:
SMAs and VWAP: Users can adjust the lengths, colors, and line thickness of the SMAs and VWAP to suit their preferences.
Signal Shape: You can choose from different shapes (arrow, circle, or cross) to represent the buy and sell signals on the chart.
Key Features:
First Candle Only: Both buy and sell signals are generated only for the first candle that satisfies the conditions, ensuring clean and actionable signals.
Visual Customization: Full control over the appearance of the indicator, including signal shapes and line properties.
Works Across Assets: This indicator is applicable to any asset (stocks, forex, crypto) where price action relative to moving averages and VWAP is important.

Multi-timeframe 24 moving averages + BB+SAR+Supertrend+VWAP █ OVERVIEW
The script allows to display up to 24 moving averages ("MA"'s) across 5 timeframes plus two bands (Bollinger Bands or Supertrend or Parabolic SAR or VWAP bands) each from its own timeframe.
The main difference of this script from many similar ones is the flexibility of its settings:
- Bulk enable/disable and/or change properties of several MAs at once.
- Save 3 of your frequently used templates as presets using CSV text configurations.
█ HOW TO USE
Some use examples:
In order to "show 31, 50, 200 EMAs and 20, 100, 200 SMAs for each of 1H, 4H, D, W, M timeframes using blue for short MA, yellow for mid MA and red for long MA" use the settings as shown on a screenshot below.
In order to "Show a band of chart timeframe MA's of lengths 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 100 and 200 plus some 1H, 4H, D and W MAs. Be able to quickly switch off the band of chart tf's MAs. For chart timeframe MA's only show labels for 21, 100 and 200 EMAs". You can set TF1 and TF2 to chart's TF and set you fib MAs there and configure fixed higher timeframe MAs using TF3, TF4 and TF5 (e.g. using 1H, D and W timeframes and using 1H 800 in place of 4H 200 MA). However, quicker way may be using CSV - the syntax is very simple and intuitive, see Preset 2 as it comes in the script. You can easily switch chart tf's band of MAs by toggling on/off your chart timeframe TF's (in our example, TF1 and TF2).
The settings are either obvious or explained in tooltips.
Note 1: When using group settings and CSV presets do not forget that individual setting affected will no have any effect. So, if some setting does not work, check whether it is overridden with some group setting or a CSV preset.
Note 2: Sometimes you can notice parts of MA's hanging in the air, not lasting up to the last bar. This is not a bug as explained on this screenshot:
█ FOR DEVELOPERS
The script is a use case of my CSVParser library, which in turn uses Autotable library, both of which I hope will be quite helpful. Autotable is so powerful and comprehensive that you will hardly ever wish to use normal table functions again for complex tables.
The indicator was inspired by Pablo Limonetti's url=https://www.tradingview.com/script/nFs56VUZ/]Multi Timeframe Moving Averages and Raging @RagingRocketBull's # Multi SMA EMA WMA HMA BB (5x8 MAs Bollinger Bands) MAX MTF - RRB
D_Rock's MA IndicatorD_Rock's Moving Average Indicator
This is an indicator version of my strategy linked here
**Overview:**
The basic concept of this indicator is to generate a signal when a faster/shorter length moving average crosses over (for Longs) or crosses under (for Shorts) a medium/longer length moving average. All of which are customizable. This indicator can work on any timeframe, however the daily is the timeframe used for the default settings and screenshots, as it was designed to be a multi-day swing strategy. Once a signal has been confirmed with a candle close, based on user options, the strategy is to enter the trade on the open of the next candle.
The crossover strategy is nothing new to trading, but what can make this strategy unique and helpful, is the addition of further confirmation points before a signal is generated along with the ability to show multiple moving averages on the chart if you choose. Each moving average pair can also be turned into a "cloud" instead of the traditional lines, for additional viewing preferences. Just about everything visual can be toggled on/off as well.
This indicator is a Trend (MA) indicator with optional confirmation points using a Momentum (MACD) indicator. While a Volume-based indicator is not shown here, one could consider using their favorite from that category to further compliment the signal idea.
If you would like to see the backtesting results for your favorite moving average crossover/under, please see my strategy version linked here .
Shoutout given to Ripster's Clouds Indicator as pieces of that code were taken and modified to create both the Cloud visualization effects, and the Moving Average Pair Plots that are implemented in this strategy.
MOVING AVERAGE OPTIONS
Select between and change the length & type of up to 5 pairs (10 total) of moving averages
The "Show Cloud-x" option will display a fill color between the "a" and "b" pairs
All moving averages lines can be toggled on/off in the "Style" tab, as well as adjusting their colors.
Visualization features do not affect calculations, meaning you could have all or nothing on the chart and the strategy will still produce results
SIGNAL CHOICES
Choose the fast/shorter length MA and the medium/longer length MA to determine the entry signal
CONFIRMATION OPTIONS
Both of these have customizable values and can be toggled on/off
A candle close over a slower/much longer length moving average
An additional cross-over (cross-under for Shorts) on the MACD indicator using default MACD values. While the MACD indicator is not necessary to have on the chart, it can help to add that for visualization. The calculations will perform whether the indicator is on the chart or not.
ADDITIONAL PLOTS
MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence):
- The MACD is an optional confirmation indicator for this strategy.
- Plotting the indicator is not necessary for the strategy to work, but it can be helpful to visually see the status and position of the MACD if this feature is enabled in the strategy
- This helps to identify if there is also momentum behind the entry signal

Multi-Step FlexiMA - Strategy [presentTrading]It's time to come back! hope I can not to be busy for a while.
█ Introduction and How It Is Different
The FlexiMA Variance Tracker is a unique trading strategy that calculates a series of deviations between the price (or another indicator source) and a variable-length moving average (MA). Unlike traditional strategies that use fixed-length moving averages, the length of the MA in this system varies within a defined range. The length changes dynamically based on a starting factor and an increment factor, creating a more adaptive approach to market conditions.
This strategy integrates Multi-Step Take Profit (TP) levels, allowing for partial exits at predefined price increments. It enables traders to secure profits at different stages of a trend, making it ideal for volatile markets where taking full profits at once might lead to missed opportunities if the trend continues.

█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 FlexiMA Concept
The FlexiMA (Flexible Moving Average) is at the heart of this strategy. Unlike traditional MA-based strategies where the MA length is fixed (e.g., a 50-period SMA), the FlexiMA varies its length with each iteration. This is done using a **starting factor** and an **increment factor**.
The formula for the moving average length at each iteration \(i\) is:
`MA_length_i = indicator_length * (starting_factor + i * increment_factor)`
Where:
- `indicator_length` is the user-defined base length.
- `starting_factor` is the initial multiplier of the base length.
- `increment_factor` increases the multiplier in each iteration.
Each iteration applies a **simple moving average** (SMA) to the chosen **indicator source** (e.g., HLC3) with a different length based on the above formula. The deviation between the current price and the moving average is then calculated as follows:
`deviation_i = price_current - MA_i`
These deviations are normalized using one of the following methods:
- **Max-Min normalization**:
`normalized_i = (deviation_i - min(deviations)) / range(deviations)`
- **Absolute Sum normalization**:
`normalized_i = deviation_i / sum(|deviation_i|)`
The **median** and **standard deviation (stdev)** of the normalized deviations are then calculated as follows:
`median = median(normalized deviations)`
For the standard deviation:
`stdev = sqrt((1/(N-1)) * sum((normalized_i - mean)^2))`
These values are plotted to provide a clear indication of how the price is deviating from its variable-length moving averages.
For more detail:
🔶 Multi-Step Take Profit
This strategy uses a multi-step take profit system, allowing for exits at different stages of a trade based on the percentage of price movement. Three take-profit levels are defined:
- Take Profit Level 1 (TP1): A small, quick profit level (e.g., 2%).
- Take Profit Level 2 (TP2): A medium-level profit target (e.g., 8%).
- Take Profit Level 3 (TP3): A larger, more ambitious target (e.g., 18%).
At each level, a corresponding percentage of the trade is exited:
- TP Percent 1: E.g., 30% of the position.
- TP Percent 2: E.g., 20% of the position.
- TP Percent 3: E.g., 15% of the position.
This approach ensures that profits are locked in progressively, reducing the risk of market reversals wiping out potential gains.
Local
🔶 Trade Entry and Exit Conditions
The entry and exit signals are determined by the interaction between the **SuperTrend Polyfactor Oscillator** and the **median** value of the normalized deviations:
- Long entry: The SuperTrend turns bearish, and the median value of the deviations is positive.
- Short entry: The SuperTrend turns bullish, and the median value is negative.
Similarly, trades are exited when the SuperTrend flips direction.
* The SuperTrend Toolkit is made by @EliCobra
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows users to specify the desired trade direction:
- Long: Only long positions will be taken.
- Short: Only short positions will be taken.
- Both: Both long and short positions are allowed based on the conditions.
This flexibility allows the strategy to adapt to different market conditions and trading styles, whether you're looking to buy low and sell high, or sell high and buy low.
█ Usage
This strategy can be applied across various asset classes, including stocks, cryptocurrencies, and forex. The primary use case is to take advantage of market volatility by using a flexible moving average and multiple take-profit levels to capture profits incrementally as the market moves in your favor.
How to Use:
1. Configure the Inputs: Start by adjusting the **Indicator Length**, **Starting Factor**, and **Increment Factor** to suit your chosen asset. The defaults work well for most markets, but fine-tuning them can improve performance.
2. Set the Take Profit Levels: Adjust the three **TP levels** and their corresponding **percentages** based on your risk tolerance and the expected volatility of the market.
3. Monitor the Strategy: The SuperTrend and the FlexiMA variance tracker will provide entry and exit signals, automatically managing the positions and taking profits at the pre-set levels.
█ Default Settings
The default settings for the strategy are configured to provide a balanced approach that works across different market conditions:
Indicator Length (10):
This controls the base length for the moving average. A lower length makes the moving average more responsive to price changes, while a higher length smooths out fluctuations, making the strategy less sensitive to short-term price movements.
Starting Factor (1.0):
This determines the initial multiplier applied to the moving average length. A higher starting factor will increase the average length, making it slower to react to price changes.
Increment Factor (1.0):
This increases the moving average length in each iteration. A larger increment factor creates a wider range of moving average lengths, allowing the strategy to track both short-term and long-term trends simultaneously.
Normalization Method ('None'):
Three methods of normalization can be applied to the deviations:
- None: No normalization applied, using raw deviations.
- Max-Min: Normalizes based on the range between the maximum and minimum deviations.
- Absolute Sum: Normalizes based on the total sum of absolute deviations.
Take Profit Levels:
- TP1 (2%): A quick exit to capture small price movements.
- TP2 (8%): A medium-term profit target for stronger trends.
- TP3 (18%): A long-term target for strong price moves.
Take Profit Percentages:
- TP Percent 1 (30%): Exits 30% of the position at TP1.
- TP Percent 2 (20%): Exits 20% of the position at TP2.
- TP Percent 3 (15%): Exits 15% of the position at TP3.
Effect of Variables on Performance:
- Short Indicator Lengths: More responsive to price changes but prone to false signals.
- Higher Starting Factor: Slows down the response, useful for longer-term trend following.
- Higher Increment Factor: Widens the variability in moving average lengths, making the strategy adapt to both short-term and long-term price trends.
- Aggressive Take Profit Levels: Allows for quick profit-taking in volatile markets but may exit positions prematurely in strong trends.
The default configuration offers a moderate balance between short-term responsiveness and long-term trend capturing, suitable for most traders. However, users can adjust these variables to optimize performance based on market conditions and personal preferences.
Gaussian SWMA For LoopGaussian SWMA For Loop Indicator
The "Gaussian SWMA For Loop" is a sophisticated indicator designed to identify potential trading opportunities by combining a Gaussian-weighted moving average (WMA) with a simple moving average (SMA), enhanced by a loop-based scoring system. This indicator is tailored for traders looking to capture trends and reversals with a refined approach, making use of advanced filtering techniques and custom thresholds for signal generation.
Key Features:
1. Gaussian Weighted Moving Average (WMA):
The indicator starts by applying a Gaussian filter to the input price data (default is the closing price). The Gaussian filter smooths the data by applying weights according to a Gaussian distribution, determined by the Gaussian Sigma parameter. This results in a smooth, noise-reduced WMA, which is more responsive to significant price movements while ignoring minor fluctuations.
2. Simple Moving Average (SMA) on Smoothed Data:
After the data is smoothed using the Gaussian filter, an SMA is calculated over this smoothed data. The length of this SMA can be adjusted via the SMA Length input, allowing users to control the level of additional smoothing applied to the already filtered data.
3. Loop-Based Scoring System:
Range Analysis: The core feature of this indicator is the loop-based scoring system. It evaluates the filtered SMA by comparing its current value to previous values over a specified range, defined by the From and To parameters.
Score Calculation: The loop iterates through each value within the defined range and adjusts a score based on whether the current filtered SMA is higher or lower than its historical values. This score is a measure of the trend's strength and direction.
Thresholds for Signal Generation: Users can define custom thresholds for long (Long Threshold) and short (Short Threshold) signals. The score is compared against these thresholds to generate buy and sell signals.
4. Signal Generation:
Buy Signal (L): Triggered when the score exceeds the user-defined Long Threshold.
Sell Signal (S): Triggered when the score falls below the Short Threshold.
5. Visual Enhancements:
The indicator plots the filtered SMA on the chart, with the line and bar colors changing based on the buy and sell signals:
Teal (color.rgb(0, 255, 187)) for a buy signal.
Magenta (color.rgb(255, 0, 157)) for a sell signal.
Gray for a neutral condition.
Additionally, the fill between the current and previous SMA values is colored based on the signal, providing a clear visual cue for trend direction and strength.
6. Alert Conditions:
The indicator includes customizable alerts that notify the user when a buy or sell signal is generated:
Long Alert: Notifies when a buy signal is triggered.
Short Alert: Notifies when a sell signal is triggered.
Configurable Inputs:
Main Group:
WMA Length (length): Sets the length of the Gaussian-weighted moving average.
SMA Length (len): Specifies the period for the SMA applied to the Gaussian-smoothed data.
Source (src): The price data used for calculations (default is the closing price).
Gaussian Sigma (sigma): Determines the standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution, influencing the smoothing effect.
For Loop Group:
From (a): The starting point for the loop-based score analysis.
To (b): The endpoint for the loop-based score analysis.
Threshold Group:
Long Threshold (threshold_L): Defines the score threshold above which a buy signal is triggered.

Price Touches 50-Day MA and Fails to CrossOverview: The Price Touches 50-Day MA and Fails to Cross Indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders and analysts using TradingView to monitor and identify key interactions between an asset's price and its 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). This indicator specifically highlights moments when the price touches the 50-day MA but fails to cross it, signaling potential support or resistance levels that could influence future price movements.
Key Features:
50-Day Simple Moving Average (SMA) Calculation:
Automatically calculates and plots the 50-day SMA on your chart, providing a clear reference point for price action analysis.
Touch Detection:
Identifies when the closing price comes within a user-defined tolerance (default is 0.1%) of the 50-day MA, indicating a "touch."
Failure to Cross Confirmation:
Determines if the price, after touching the MA, fails to cross it in the subsequent bar. This helps in recognizing potential reversal points or consolidation zones.
Visual Indicators:
Plots red downward triangles above the bars where a touch-and-fail event occurs, making it easy to spot these critical moments at a glance.
Customizable Touch Tolerance:
Allows users to adjust the sensitivity of touch detection by modifying the touch tolerance percentage, catering to different trading strategies and asset volatilities.
Alert Conditions:
Offers the option to set up alerts that notify you whenever a touch-and-fail event is detected, ensuring you never miss significant trading signals.
How It Works:
Calculating the 50-Day SMA:
The indicator computes the 50-day SMA using the closing prices, providing a smooth average that reflects the asset's mid-term trend.
Detecting a Touch:
A "touch" is registered when the absolute difference between the closing price and the 50-day SMA is less than or equal to the specified tolerance. This proximity suggests a potential support or resistance level.
Confirming Failure to Cross:
After a touch is detected, the indicator checks whether the price fails to move beyond the 50-day MA in the next bar. If the price remains on the original side of the MA, it signifies a failed attempt to cross, highlighting a possible reversal or consolidation.
Plotting Indicators:
When a touch-and-fail event is confirmed, a red downward triangle is plotted above the corresponding bar, providing a clear visual cue for traders.

Daily Moving Average for Intraday TimeframesThis indicator provides a dynamic tool for visualizing the Daily Moving Average (DMA) on intraday timeframes.
It allows you to analyze how the price behaves in relation to the daily moving average in timeframes from 1 minute up to 1 day.
KEY FEATURES
DMA on Intraday timeframes only : This indicator is designed to work exclusively on intraday charts with timeframes between 1 minute and 1 day. It will not function on tick, second-based, or daily-and-above charts.
Color-Coded Zones for Trend Identification :
Green Zone: The price is above a rising DMA, signaling a bullish momentum.
Red Zone: The price is below a falling DMA, signaling a bearish momentum.
Yellow Zone: Signaling uncertainty or mixed conditions, where either the price is above a falling DMA or below a rising/flat DMA.
Configurable DMA Period : You can adjust the number of days over which the DMA is calculated (default is 5 days). This can be customized based on your trading strategy or market preferences.
24/7 Market Option : For assets that trade continuously (e.g., cryptocurrencies), activate the "Is trading 24/7?" setting to ensure accurate calculations.
WHAT IS THE DMA AND WHY USE IT INTRADAY?
The Daily Moving Average is a Simple Moving Average indicator used to smooth out price fluctuations over a specified period (in days) and reveal the underlying trend.
Typically, a SMA takes price value for the current timeframe and reveal the trend for this timeframe. It gives you the average price for the last N candles for the given timeframe.
But what makes the Intraday DMA interesting is that it shows the underlying trend of the Daily timeframe on a chart set on a shorter timeframe . This helps to align intraday trades with broader market movements.
HOW IS THE DMA CALCULATED?
If we are to build a N-day Daily Moving Average using a Simple Moving Average, we need to take the amount of candles A needed in that timeframe to account for a period of a day and multiply it by the number of days N of the desired DMA.
So for instance, let say we want to compute the 5-Day DMA on the 10 minute timeframe :
In the 10 minute timeframe there are 39 candles in a day in the regular session.
We would take the 39 candles per day and then multiply that by 5 days. 39 x 5 = 195.
So a 5-day moving average is represented by a simple moving average with a period of 195 when looking at a 10 minute timeframe.
So for each period, to create a 5-day DMA, you would have to set the period of your simple moving average like so :
- 195 minutes = 10 period
- 130 minutes = 15 period
- 65 minutes = 30 period
- 30 minutes = 65 period
- 15 minutes = 130 period
- 10 minutes = 195 period
- 5 minutes = 390 period
and so on.
This indicator attempts to do this calculation for you on any intraday timeframe and whatever the period you want to use is for your DMA. You can create a 10-day moving average, a 30-day moving average, etc.
Varanormal Mac N Cheez Strategy v1Mac N Cheez Strategy (Set a $200 Take profit Manually)
It's super cheesy. Strategy does the following:
Here's a detailed explanation of what the entire script does, including its key components, functionality, and purpose.
1. Strategy Setup and Input Parameters:
Strategy Name: The script is named "NQ Futures $200/day Strategy" and is set as an overlay, meaning all elements (like moving averages and signals) are plotted on the price chart.
Input Parameters:
fastLength: This sets the length of the fast moving average. The user can adjust this value, and it defaults to 9.
slowLength: This sets the length of the slow moving average. The user can adjust this value, and it defaults to 21.
dailyTarget: The daily profit target, which defaults to $200. If set to 0, this disables the daily profit target.
stopLossAmount: The fixed stop-loss amount per trade, defaulting to $100. This value is used to calculate how much you're willing to lose on a single trade.
trailOffset: This value sets the distance for a trailing stop. It helps protect profits by automatically adjusting the stop-loss as the price moves in your favor.
2. Calculating the Moving Averages:
fastMA: The fast moving average is calculated using the ta.sma() function on the close price with a period length of fastLength. The ta.sma() function calculates the simple moving average.
slowMA: The slow moving average is also calculated using ta.sma() but with the slowLength period.
These moving averages are used to determine trend direction and identify entry points.
3. Buy and Sell Signal Conditions:
longCondition: This is the buy condition. It occurs when the fast moving average crosses above the slow moving average. The script uses ta.crossover() to detect this crossover event.
shortCondition: This is the sell condition. It occurs when the fast moving average crosses below the slow moving average. The script uses ta.crossunder() to detect this crossunder event.
4. Executing Buy and Sell Orders:
Buy Orders: When the longCondition is true (i.e., fast MA crosses above slow MA), the script enters a long position using strategy.entry("Buy", strategy.long).
Sell Orders: When the shortCondition is true (i.e., fast MA crosses below slow MA), the script enters a short position using strategy.entry("Sell", strategy.short).
5. Setting Stop Loss and Trailing Stop:
Stop-Loss for Long Positions: The stop-loss is calculated as the entry price minus the stopLossAmount. If the price falls below this level, the trade is exited automatically.
Stop-Loss for Short Positions: The stop-loss is calculated as the entry price plus the stopLossAmount. If the price rises above this level, the short trade is exited.
Trailing Stop: The trail_offset dynamically adjusts the stop-loss as the price moves in favor of the trade, locking in profits while still allowing room for market fluctuations.
6. Conditional Daily Profit Target:
The script includes a daily profit target that automatically closes all trades once the total profit for the day reaches or exceeds the dailyTarget.
Conditional Logic:
If the dailyTarget is greater than 0, the strategy checks whether the strategy.netprofit (total profit for the day) has reached or exceeded the target.
If the strategy.netprofit >= dailyTarget, the script calls strategy.close_all(), closing all open trades for the day and stopping further trading.
If dailyTarget is set to 0, this logic is skipped, and the script continues trading without a daily profit target.
7. Plotting Moving Averages:
plot(fastMA): This plots the fast moving average as a blue line on the price chart.
plot(slowMA): This plots the slow moving average as a red line on the price chart. These help visualize the crossover points and the trend direction on the chart.
8. Plotting Buy and Sell Signals:
plotshape(): The script uses plotshape() to add visual markers when buy or sell conditions are met:
"Long Signal": When a buy condition (longCondition) is met, a green marker is plotted below the price bar with the label "Long".
"Short Signal": When a sell condition (shortCondition) is met, a red marker is plotted above the price bar with the label "Short".
These markers help traders quickly see when buy or sell signals occurred on the chart.
In addition, triangle markers are plotted:
Green Triangle: Indicates where a buy entry occurred.
Red Triangle: Indicates where a sell entry occurred.
Summary of What the Script Does:
Inputs: The script allows the user to adjust moving average lengths, daily profit targets, stop-loss amounts, and trailing stop offsets.
Signals: It generates buy and sell signals based on the crossovers of the fast and slow moving averages.
Order Execution: It executes long positions on buy signals and short positions on sell signals.
Stop-Loss and Trailing Stop: It sets dynamic stop-losses and uses a trailing stop to protect profits.
Daily Profit Target: The strategy stops trading for the day once the net profit reaches the daily target (unless the target is disabled by setting it to 0).
Visual Markers: It plots moving averages and buy/sell signals directly on the main price chart to aid in visual analysis.
This script is designed to trade based on moving average crossovers, with robust risk management features like stop-loss and trailing stops, along with an optional daily profit target to limit daily trading activity. Let me know if you need further clarification or want to adjust any specific part of the script!

Sma Standard Deviation | viResearchSma Standard Deviation | viResearch
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The "Sma Standard Deviation" indicator from viResearch combines the benefits of Simple Moving Average (SMA) smoothing with Standard Deviation (SD) analysis, offering traders a powerful tool for understanding price trends and volatility. The SMA provides a straightforward approach to trend detection by calculating the average price over a defined period, while the SD component adds insight into the market's volatility by measuring the variation of prices around the SMA. This combination helps traders identify whether the price is moving within a typical range or deviating significantly, which can signal potential trend shifts or periods of increased volatility. By using both SMA and SD together, this indicator enhances the trader's ability to detect not only the trend direction but also how strongly the market is deviating from that trend, offering more informed decision-making.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "Sma Standard Deviation" script uses two key elements: the Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Standard Deviation (SD). The SMA is calculated over a user-defined length and represents the smoothed average price over this period. The script also incorporates DEMA smoothing applied to different price sources, providing further refinement to the trend analysis. The SD is calculated by measuring the deviation of the price from the SMA over a separate user-defined length, showing how volatile the price is relative to its average. The script generates upper and lower SD boundaries by adding and subtracting the SD from the SMA, creating a volatility-adjusted range for the price. This allows traders to visualize whether the price is moving within expected bounds or breaking out of its typical range. The script monitors crossovers between the DEMA, SMA, and SD boundaries, generating trend signals based on these interactions.
Features and User Inputs
The "Sma Standard Deviation" script offers several customizable inputs, allowing traders to adjust the indicator to their specific strategies. The SMA Length controls the period for which the moving average is calculated, while the SD Length defines how long the period is for measuring price deviation. Additionally, the DEMA smoothing length can be adjusted for both the trend and standard deviation calculations, giving traders control over how responsive or smooth they want the indicator to be. The script also includes alert conditions that notify traders when trend shifts occur, either to the upside or downside.
Practical Applications
The "Sma Standard Deviation" indicator is designed for traders who want to analyze both market trends and volatility in a unified tool. The combination of the SMA and SD helps traders identify potential trend reversals, as large deviations from the SMA can indicate periods of increased volatility that precede significant price moves. This makes the indicator particularly effective for identifying trend reversals, managing volatility, and improving trend-following strategies. By analyzing when the price moves outside the volatility-adjusted range defined by the SD, traders can detect early signals of potential trend reversals. The SD component helps traders understand how volatile the market is relative to its average price, allowing for more informed decisions in both trending and volatile market conditions. The dual use of DEMA and SMA smoothing allows for a clearer trend signal, helping traders stay aligned with the prevailing market direction while managing the noise caused by short-term volatility.
Advantages and Strategic Value
The "Sma Standard Deviation" script offers significant value by integrating both trend detection and volatility analysis into a single tool. The use of SMA for smoothing price trends, combined with the SD for assessing price volatility, provides a more comprehensive view of the market. This dual approach helps traders filter out false signals caused by short-term fluctuations while identifying potential trend changes driven by increased volatility. This makes the "Sma Standard Deviation" indicator ideal for traders seeking a balance between trend-following and volatility management.
Alerts and Visual Cues
The script includes alert conditions that notify traders when significant trend shifts occur based on price crossovers with the SMA and SD boundaries. The "Sma Standard Deviation Long" alert is triggered when the price crosses above the upper volatility boundary, indicating a potential upward trend. Conversely, the "Sma Standard Deviation Short" alert signals a possible downward trend when the price crosses below the lower boundary. Visual cues, such as changes in the color of the SMA line, help traders quickly identify trend shifts and act accordingly.
Summary and Usage Tips
The "Sma Standard Deviation | viResearch" indicator provides traders with a robust tool for analyzing market trends and volatility. By combining the benefits of SMA smoothing with SD analysis, this script offers a comprehensive approach to detecting trend changes and managing risk. Incorporating this indicator into your trading strategy can help improve your ability to spot trend reversals, understand market volatility, and stay aligned with the broader market direction. The "Sma Standard Deviation" is a reliable and customizable solution for traders looking to enhance their technical analysis in both trending and volatile markets.

Lsma | viResearchLsma | viResearch
Certainly! Here's the revised text:
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The "Lsma" (Least Squares Moving Average) indicator, developed by viResearch, offers a refined approach to trend detection by using linear regression to smooth price data. Unlike traditional moving averages, the Lsma reduces lag by fitting a linear regression line through the data points, providing a more responsive and accurate representation of price trends. This dynamic approach enables traders to capture market movements with greater precision, especially in fast-moving markets.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "Lsma" indicator is based on the least squares method, a statistical analysis technique that minimizes the difference between observed and predicted values. By applying this method to price data, the Lsma indicator calculates a trend line that reduces the impact of random fluctuations.
Linear Regression Calculation:
Length (len_lsma): The Lsma is computed over a user-defined period, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to market conditions. A longer period provides a smoother trend, while a shorter period makes the indicator more responsive to recent price changes.
Offset (off): The script includes an optional offset parameter, which shifts the trend line forward or backward, providing additional flexibility in visualizing market trends.
Source (src): The input source (default: close price) determines which price data the Lsma is applied to. This can be customized to suit various trading strategies.
Trend Identification:
Lsma Direction: The script compares the current Lsma value to its previous value to detect trend direction. If the Lsma is increasing and the price is above it, this signals an uptrend (L). Conversely, if the Lsma is decreasing and the price is below it, this signals a downtrend (S).
Entry Confirmation (en): The user can select an entry confirmation source to further validate potential trade signals. This ensures that traders are not solely reliant on the Lsma's trend direction but can also confirm signals with additional data points.
Features and User Inputs
The "Lsma" script offers several customizable options, making it adaptable to various trading styles and market conditions:
Lsma Length: Controls the period over which the Lsma is calculated. Traders can increase this value to smooth out short-term fluctuations or reduce it for faster trend detection.
Offset: Allows users to shift the Lsma plot, which can help in analyzing trends or refining entry and exit points.

Multi Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA)The Multi Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) indicator is an advanced tool for technical analysis, designed to provide traders with a detailed understanding of market trends and potential future price movements. This indicator utilizes multiple Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) and forecasting techniques to enhance decision-making processes.
Simple Moving Averages (SMAs):
Short MA (20-period): This moving average is highly responsive to price changes, making it ideal for capturing short-term trends. It helps traders identify quick market shifts and potential entry or exit points.
Mid MA (50-period): This average strikes a balance between short- and long-term trends, offering insights into the market's intermediate direction. It aids in confirming the sustainability of short-term trends.
Long MA (100-period): By smoothing out price data over a longer period, this moving average is useful for identifying long-term trends and filtering out short-term volatility.
Very Long MA (200-period): Often considered a critical indicator for determining the overall market trend, this average helps confirm the direction and strength of long-term movements.
Forecasting:
Flat Forecast: This approach assumes that prices will remain constant in the near future, which is particularly useful in markets trading sideways without a clear trend direction.
Linear Regression Forecast: This method uses historical data to project future price movements, offering a dynamic forecast based on existing trends. It helps traders anticipate potential price changes and plan their strategies accordingly.
Advantages:
Comprehensive Trend Analysis: By incorporating four different SMAs, the indicator provides a layered view of market trends across various timeframes. This enables traders to identify potential trend reversals and continuations with greater accuracy.
Predictive Insights: The forecasting feature offers traders a forward-looking perspective, enabling them to anticipate market movements and adjust their trading strategies proactively. This can be especially advantageous in volatile markets.

The inclusion of a legend further aids in distinguishing between the different moving averages and their respective forecasts.
How to Use:
Trend Confirmation: Use the alignment of the SMAs to confirm market trends. For example, when the Short MA crosses above the Mid and Long MAs, it may indicate a bullish trend, while the opposite could suggest a bearish trend.
Entry and Exit Points: Look for crossovers between the SMAs as potential signals for entering or exiting trades. The forecasts can help in timing these decisions by providing an expectation of future price movements.
Risk Management: Utilize the Very Long MA to set stop-loss and take-profit levels, as it reflects the long-term trend and can help in avoiding trades against the prevailing market direction.
The MAMA indicator is intended to support technical analysis and should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. Financial markets are inherently uncertain, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Traders should use this tool in conjunction with other analytical methods and consider their risk tolerance and investment objectives. It is advisable to conduct thorough research and consult with a financial advisor before making significant trading decisions. Always be aware of the risks involved in trading and invest only what you can afford to lose.

- **Objective**: To notify traders of potential shifts in market direction, enabling timely adjustments to trading positions.
- **Method**: Detects and highlights crossover and crossunder points of the smoothed line, indicating possible trend changes. This helps traders react promptly to changing market conditions.
#### Detailed Functionality
1. **Smoothing Line Calculation**:
- **Simple Moving Average (SMA)**:
- **Definition**: The SMA is a type of moving average that calculates the average of a security’s price over a specified number of periods. It smooths out price data to filter out short-term fluctuations and highlight the longer-term trend.
- **Calculation**: The SMA is computed by summing the closing prices of the chosen number of periods and then dividing by the number of periods. For example, a 20-period SMA adds the closing prices for the past 20 periods and divides by 20.
- **Purpose**: The SMA helps in identifying the direction of the trend. A rising SMA indicates an uptrend, while a falling SMA indicates a downtrend. This smoothing helps traders to avoid being misled by short-term price noise.
2. **Pivot Points Calculation**:
- **Pivot Highs and Lows**:
- **Definition**: Pivot points are significant price levels where a market trend is likely to reverse. A pivot high is the highest price over a certain period, surrounded by lower prices on both sides, while a pivot low is the lowest price surrounded by higher prices.
- **Calculation**: The SPM calculates pivot points based on a user-defined lookback period. For instance, if the lookback period is set to 3, the indicator will find the highest and lowest prices within the past 3 periods and mark these points.
- **Purpose**: Pivot points are used to identify potential support and resistance levels. Traders often use these levels to set entry and exit points, stop-loss orders, and to gauge market sentiment.
3. **Visualization**:
- **Smoothed Line Plot**:
- **Description**: The smoothed line, calculated using the SMA, is plotted on the chart to provide a visual representation of the trend. This line adjusts its color based on the trend direction, helping traders quickly assess the market condition.
- **Color Coding**: The smoothed line is colored green (upColor) when it is rising, indicating a bullish trend, and red (downColor) when it is falling, indicating a bearish trend. This color-coding helps traders visually differentiate between uptrends and downtrends.
- **Line Width**: The width of the line can be adjusted to improve visibility. A thicker line may be more noticeable, while a thinner line might provide a cleaner look on the chart.
- **Pivot Markers**:
- **Description**: Pivot highs and lows are marked on the chart with lines and labels. These markers help in visually identifying significant price levels.
- **Color and Labels**: Pivot highs are represented with green lines and labels ("H"), while pivot lows are marked with red lines and labels ("L"). This color scheme and labeling make it easy to distinguish between resistance (highs) and support (lows).
4. **Trend Change Detection**:
- **Trend Up**:
- **Detection**: The indicator identifies an upward trend change when the smoothed line crosses above its previous value. This crossover suggests a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
- **Usage**: Traders can interpret this signal as a potential buying opportunity or an indication to review and possibly adjust their trading positions to align with the new uptrend.
- **Trend Down**:
- **Detection**: A downward trend change is detected when the smoothed line crosses below its previous value. This crossunder indicates a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.
- **Usage**: This signal can be used to consider selling opportunities or to reassess long positions in light of the emerging downtrend.
#### User Inputs
1. **Smoothing Period**:
- **Description**: This input determines the number of periods over which the SMA is calculated. It directly affects the smoothness of the line and the sensitivity of trend detection.
- **Range**: The smoothing period can be set to any integer value greater than or equal to 1. There is no specified upper limit, offering flexibility for various trading styles.
- **Default Value**: The default smoothing period is 20, which is a common choice for medium-term trend analysis.
- **Impact**: A longer smoothing period results in a smoother line, filtering out more noise and highlighting long-term trends. A shorter period makes the line more responsive to recent price changes, which can be useful for short-term trading strategies.
2. **Pivot Lookback**:
- **Description**: This input specifies the number of periods used to calculate the pivot highs and lows. It influences the sensitivity of pivot point detection and the relevance of the identified levels.
- **Range**: The pivot lookback period can be set to any integer value greater than or equal to 1, with no upper limit. Traders can adjust this parameter based on their trading timeframe and preferences.
- **Default Value**: The default lookback period is 3, which provides a balance between detecting significant pivots and avoiding excessive noise.
- **Impact**: A longer lookback period generates more stable pivot points, suitable for identifying long-term support and resistance levels. A shorter lookback period results in more frequent and recent pivot points, useful for intraday trading and quick responses to price changes.
#### Applications for Different Traders
1. **Trend Followers**:
- **Using the SMA**: Trend followers utilize the smoothed line to gauge the direction of the market. By aligning trades with the direction of the SMA, traders can capitalize on sustained trends and improve their chances of success.
- **Trend Change Alerts**: The trend change markers alert trend followers to potential shifts in market direction. These alerts help traders make timely decisions to enter or exit positions, ensuring they stay aligned with the prevailing trend.
2. **Reversal Traders**:
- **Pivot Points**: Reversal traders focus on pivot highs and lows to identify potential reversal points in the market. These points indicate where the market has previously reversed direction, providing potential entry and exit levels for trades.
- **Pivot Markers**: The visual markers for pivot highs and lows serve as clear signals for reversal traders. By monitoring these levels, traders can anticipate price reversals and plan their trades to exploit these opportunities.
3. **Swing Traders**:
- **Combining SMA and Pivot Points**: Swing traders can use the combination of the smoothed line and pivot points to identify medium-term trading opportunities. The smoothed line helps in understanding the broader trend, while pivot points provide specific levels for potential swings.
- **Trend Change Alerts**: Trend change markers help swing traders spot new swing opportunities as the market shifts direction. These markers provide potential entry points for swing trades and help traders adjust their strategies to capitalize on market movements.
4. **Scalpers**:
- **Short-Term Analysis**: Scalpers benefit from the short-term signals provided by the SPM. The smoothed line and pivot points offer insights into rapid price movements, while the trend change markers highlight quick trading opportunities.
- **Pivot Points**: For scalpers, pivot points are particularly useful in identifying key levels where price may reverse within a short time frame. By focusing on these levels, scalpers can plan trades with tight stop-loss orders and capitalize on quick price changes.
#### Implementation and Best Practices
1. **Setting Parameters**:
- **Smoothing Period**: Adjust the smoothing period according to your trading strategy and market conditions. For long-term analysis, use a longer period to filter out noise and highlight broader trends. For short-term trading, a shorter period provides more immediate insights into price movements.
- **Pivot Lookback**: Choose a lookback period that matches your trading timeframe. For intraday trading, a shorter lookback period offers quick identification of recent price levels. For swing trading or long-term strategies, a longer lookback period provides more stable pivot points.
2. **Combining with Other Indicators**:
- **Integration with Technical Tools**: The SPM can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators to enhance trading decisions. For instance, combining the
SPM with indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index) or MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) can provide additional confirmation for trend signals and pivot points.
- **Support and Resistance**: Integrate the SPM’s pivot points with other support and resistance levels to gain a comprehensive view of market conditions. This combined approach helps in identifying stronger levels of support and resistance, improving trade accuracy.
3. **Backtesting**:
- **Historical Performance**: Conduct backtesting with historical data to evaluate the effectiveness of the SPM. Analyze past performance to fine-tune the smoothing period and pivot lookback settings, ensuring they align with your trading style and market conditions.
- **Scenario Analysis**: Test the SPM under various market scenarios to understand its performance in different conditions. This analysis helps in assessing the reliability of the indicator and making necessary adjustments for diverse market environments.
4. **Customization**:
- **Visual Adjustments**: Customize the appearance of the smoothed line and pivot markers to enhance chart readability and match personal preferences. Clear visual representation of these elements improves the effectiveness of the indicator.
- **Alert Configuration**: Set up alerts for trend changes to receive timely notifications. Alerts help traders act quickly on potential market shifts without constant monitoring, allowing for more efficient trading decisions.

Golden Cross Strategy with Trend FilterHere's the English translation:
**Entry for Long Position:** Enter a long position only when the 5SMA crosses above the 25SMA and the current price is above the 75SMA.
**Entry for Short Position:** Enter a short position only when the 5SMA crosses below the 25SMA and the current price is below the 75SMA.
**Exit Position:** Hold the long position until a short signal is generated, and hold the short position until a long signal is generated.
